7 Non-Track Day Cars That Are Actually Good On Track
In case you have already burned the three famous desires to submit to the genius of the lamp, do not go crazy. Your ambitions to vent on track on Sunday, thanks to the load of opportunities for being at least for half a day a (Sunday) driver, are abundantly gratified by the opportunity to choose from a multitude of circuits which open their gates to free laps for cars regularly usable on every day’s roads. In this regard, the good news (for your wallet and for the welfare of your married life) is that you will not necessarily need a track weapon, a low, uncomfortable and noisy barchetta barely approved for the road and which would leave its front splitter just passing over a packet of crisps. For being able to enter the track and have a nice time we all have a bunch of proposals, also available with just a few money on the second hand market and suitable to bring you the following morning, at the office to better face the working week.
Aspects that make phenomenal on track a car that does not lack that bit of comfort useful during the remaining five days of the week, are definitely a chassis rigid at the right point and able to keep away both pitch and body roll, a manual transmission (for greater involvement) or rather a latest generation sequential ‘box, a reduced weight and possibly the traction on the rear axle only. We’re sure you notice that the fastest guys out there, have carefully checked every single point of this simple list with no great pretensions. There’s something for all tastes and budgets, in fact just for the equivalent of a wristwatch you take home a two-seater suitable for a pleasant cohabitation both on track and out of it, but if you mind you can also put in the garage a special edition, maybe lighter and with better brakes, which could be able to disintegrate the competition with less effort, but more importantly, maintaining the amount of fun that is the real first target of these “Sunday blasts”.
Here are seven proposals that we believe are suitable to attack the curbs, but perfectly able to chew some mountain road or endure the boredom of city traffic without spoiling your hairstyle or leaving you in a sweat bath. Which one do you prefer?
